Connect a Shopify store

Connect a destination store before you publish processed products to Shopify. CopyHero guides you through creating and installing a custom Shopify app with the permissions needed for the connection.

Start the connection

1. Open Destination Stores.
2. Select Connect Store.
3. Enter the store prefix or paste any URL for the Shopify store.
4. Confirm the normalized .myshopify.com address before continuing.

Create the Shopify app

The connection drawer links to the Shopify development-app settings for the selected store. In Shopify:

1. Create an app manually.
2. Name the app CopyHero App.
3. Follow the CopyHero connection steps to configure the displayed app URLs and required permissions.
4. Enter the generated client credentials in CopyHero.
5. Select Install App and approve the installation in Shopify.

Expected result

The store appears in Destination Stores and can be selected when you use Import to Shopify.

Treat the client secret like a password. Never paste it into support messages, screenshots, or shared documents.

If the connection fails

• Confirm that you used the permanent .myshopify.com domain rather than a custom storefront domain.
• Verify the client ID and secret were copied from the same Shopify app.
• Save changed app URLs and permissions in Shopify before trying again.
• If an existing store has limited permissions, add the permissions shown in CopyHero and reconnect the store.
